What's Behind a Groove?

Ever wonder what drives the creation of music?

For example...the photo shows a chick swingin' to a guy hammering out some serious vibes.  The song I chose, Harry Breuer and his Quintet playing Bumble Bee Bolero was done in 1957.  Listening to the song, you can hear his musicianship, but the song is tame as opposed to the "zany jacket" and "cheesy instrumental pop"

I wonder about this now, because Roller8 and I are in the throes of making our latest EP.  It's our first volume of work together since we released DWD back in the mid 90s.  We had a focus to get some music out, and to make our "sound."

Now in 2013, we are defining and solidifying that sound.

Behind our grooves will be thoughts of loved ones gone to be with the Lord, songs of thanksgiving and yearning for his Glorious Return, along with intimate discussions about past inside joke rendezvous in countries afar.  

You can also expect some SERIOUS GROOVES!!! Roller8's keyboard technique is out the box as he studies the intricacies of harmonic structure.


We are spending a lot of time working on our new music.  I am also working on new treats to share with everyone.  This is our time...time to join the ranks of musicians, singers and DJs that have lit up the dance floor with sizzling floor burners.  

We should probably wait until you all hear our work, and judge for yourselves.  But I think it doesn't hurt to toot your own horn now and then.  We're having a little good natured mischief of our own - all for God and Mom.
